Summary
AKAP8 (A-kinase anchoring protein 8, HGNC:378) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.12, encoding A-kinase anchor protein 8 (O43823). Anchoring protein that mediates the subcellular compartmentation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA type II).
This gene encodes a member of the A-kinase anchor protein family. A-kinase anchor proteins are scaffold proteins that contain a binding domain for the RI/RII subunit of protein kinase A (PKA) and recruit PKA and other signaling molecules to specific subcellular locations. This gene encodes a nuclear A-kinase anchor protein that binds to the RII alpha subunit of PKA and may play a role in chromosome condensation during mitosis by targeting PKA and the condensin complex to chromatin. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9.

- Using a BioID proximity-based proteomic screen, we identify the nuclear pore complex protein TPR as a novel AKAP95 binding partner. We show interaction between AKAP95 and TPR in mitosis, and an AKAP95-dependent enrichment of TPR in the spindle microtubule area in metaphase, then later in the spindle midzone area. (PMID:28379780)

- The PKA-binding domain of AKAP8 and the C-terminal domain of DPY30, also called Dpy-30 motif, are crucial for the interaction between these proteins. AKAP8 interacts with DPY30 and the RII alpha regulatory subunit of PKA both in the interphase and in mitotic cells. A single amino acid substitution in DPY30 L69D affects its dimerization and completely abolishes its interaction with AKAP8. (PMID:29288530)

Function. Anchoring protein that mediates the subcellular compartmentation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA type II). Acts as an anchor for a PKA-signaling complex onto mitotic chromosomes, which is required for maintenance of chromosomes in a condensed form throughout mitosis. Recruits condensin complex subunit NCAPD2 to chromosomes required for chromatin condensation; the function appears to be independent from PKA-anchoring. May help to deliver cyclin D/E to CDK4 to facilitate cell cycle progression. Required for cell cycle G2/M transition and histone deacetylation during mitosis. In mitotic cells recruits HDAC3 to the vicinity of chromatin leading to deacetylation and subsequent phosphorylation at ‘Ser-10’ of histone H3; in this function may act redundantly with AKAP8L. Involved in nuclear retention of RPS6KA1 upon ERK activation thus inducing cell proliferation. May be involved in regulation of DNA replication by acting as scaffold for MCM2. Enhances HMT activity of the KMT2 family MLL4/WBP7 complex and is involved in transcriptional regulation. In a teratocarcinoma cell line is involved in retinoic acid-mediated induction of developmental genes implicating H3 ‘Lys-4’ methylation. May be involved in recruitment of active CASP3 to the nucleus in apoptotic cells. May act as a carrier protein of GJA1 for its transport to the nucleus. May play a repressive role in the regulation of rDNA transcription. Preferentially binds GC-rich DNA in vitro. In cells, associates with ribosomal RNA (rRNA) chromatin, preferentially with rRNA promoter and transcribed regions. Involved in modulation of Toll-like receptor signaling. Required for the cAMP-dependent suppression of TNF in early stages of LPS-induced macrophage activation; the function probably implicates targeting of PKA to NFKB1.
Subunit / interactions. Binds to the PKA RII-alpha regulatory subunit PRKAR2A (phosphorylated at ‘Thr-54’) during mitosis. Interacts (via C-terminus) with FIGN. Interacts with NCAPD2, CCND1, MCM2, RPS6KA1, PDE4A. Interacts with CCND3, CCNE1, DDX5, CASP3. Interacts with NFKB1; detetcted in the cytoplasm. Interacts with MYCBP; MYCBP is translocated to the nucleus and the interaction prevents the association of the PKA catalytic subunit leading to suppression of PKA activity. Interacts with DPY30; mediating AKAP8 association with at least the MLL4/WBP7 HMT complex. Interacts with HDAC3; increased during mitosis. Interacts with GJA1; in the nucleus and in the nuclear membrane; the nuclear association increases with progress of cell cycle G1, S and G2 phase and decreases in M phase.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Nucleus matrix. Nucleolus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in heart, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Expressed in mature dendritic cells.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues probably by SRC subfamily protein kinases; multiple phosphorylation is leading to dissociation from nuclear structures implicated in chromatin structural changes.
Similarity. Belongs to the AKAP95 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 147 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
